- A DETAILED DISCUSSION - CRITICAL INFORMATION IF YOU ARE ON A KETO DIET
This is a REFERENCE TALK for anyone following a Low Carb High Fat diet when it comes to understanding ketogenic bloodwork. This video is a talk I recently gave to at the 2nd World Nutrition Summit discussing how I interpret my patient’s bloodwork. This is meant to be a guide for practitioners practicing in the ketogenic space. If you are a patient, please do not self-diagnose. Consult with a knowledgeable ketogenic practitioner. Go to the SMHP website and look for a physician in your local area or one such as us that do telehealth visits all over the world. Text or whatsapp +15615170642 to set up a consult.

Converting people from toxic sugar burners to healthy fat (keto) burners while addressing the CAUSE of addiction to carbs from an emotion management perspective. Sometimes using obesity surgery and devices as tools along the way, and helping people who have had bariatric surgery stay healthy and not relapse

After months of following you and watching your videos, I made a document with all tests and values for keto bloodwork then I converted them to the international units used here in Canada by labs and doctors. Now, we all have them by topic which is fantastic. For some of the tests, I didn't have a reference value for a Keto/Carnivore way of eating. Thank you very much for sharing Doc. This helps us in the journey to better health. I was obese due to a carb addiction. I use your guidelines to compare myself and adjust as needed. I'm not far from putting my insulin resistance into remission.
Although the world wouldn't believe in Herb's, I will because Dr. OKOUKPATO has shown me the power of which these herbs contain , It got rid of my 7 years. HSV1/2, what else can I say than thank you Dr okoukpato
Would love to get a copy if possible 😊
@srgmnslv3978 Would you consider sharing that treasure? I would certainly appreciate a copy of it. Does it still contain the original US references?
Would really appreciate a copy of your document with conversion to international units. Is that possible. Thank you in advance.
Dr. Cywes, another great video. I learned so much. Thank you for being my doctor.
This is one of the best overviews of blood work that everyone needs to know!
Thank you very much!

Wow! This doctor understands blood work and how to optimize health!
Doc, thank you so much for sharing this talk with us, who could not make the World Nutrition Summit. This is GOLD!
Have you seen Dr Sarah Huen's video "What is a kidney healthy diet? Context matters” She notes there may be individuals whose blood work numbers GFR, creatinine, BUN would indicate CKD but the basis for these numbers is not based on a KETO let alone carnivore diet. Like LDL there may be individuals who are hyper responders
Thank you so much Dr Cywes!!!
Always highly informitive, and thought provoking.

Would be great to use these guidelines for HDL , Trigs and A1C in terms of Canadian Lipid Tests that measure in mmol/l.
Are the conversion factors as follows : ( mmol/ l to mg/dl ) :
HDL X 39
TG x89
A1C x18 ?
( I see several versions of this online … would love clarification).
Thanks in advance, anyone who can answer.
I have fought my way from ketoacidosis almost 5 years ago with with an insulin level of 27.4 and A1C of 13.4. I currently have an A1C of 5.9 and insulin of 8.4. I stay under 20 carbs and still have to take metformin, but I have come a long way from how sick I was. I don't know if I will ever be able to come completely off meds, but I am in a much better place than I was.
Excellent

Thank you Dr. Cywes. I’ve been following you for a long time, and I have watched my BUN rise very high, along with a very low c-peptide. My insulin was 2 I believe. My doctor was looking at type 1 diabetes. I’m a bones body weight fairly fit 40 year old woman. I do not believe I’m diabetic, but I’ve also had some very high blood sugars after exercise. I believe I was dehydrated the couple times it happened so I became immediately ill. Shaking, nauseous, weak. I have an appt with you in early May. Appreciate your content very much.

YAY new talk! I hope it will be a deep dive
Put on your heliox tanks.
Great video. Lots of detail. Greatly appreciated.
34:55 "do do." great Doc! My blood work is looking better and better. I've told myself for years I'm not eating enough good protein. have years of blood work to prove it.

The last few seconds of your dialogue is missing at each slide change. Possibly an editing problem.
Lots of great information.
Your last few moments describing Science needs to be beat into so many heads today.
Thank you, sir! This is very helpful!
Fantastic! I had my bloodwork results by me for comparison. Thank you!
Best talk so far.
Thank you very much.
Fabulous video. I will re-watch and make notes for my upcoming bloodwork.
Thank you. It’s useful and I will try to check my numbers this way. By my own I guess 🙈.
PS: Please Doc., have a friendly debate with Bart Kay… We all learn.
12:40! Glucagon levels.
Thank you
can you do a video on iron overload on carnivore diet?
Excellent! Thank you!
Thank you! So educational.

Great vid!
Thanks
I get a1c and routine blood work but one of my docs support insulin testing so I need to buy it at a direct pay. Exact what test do I need?
What if someone has xanthelasma? I know everyone in the keto community says not to worry about cholesterol, but what happens if you have xanthelasma and also others non keto family members have it?
Hi, on keto-carnivore for 3 years, feel great, but my Cholesterol is very hi 18, and I diveloped xanthelasma on my eyelids, did check my conary artery in the neck, all good, should I worry? Notised that my xanthelasma growes when I go on prolong fasting
If protein causes blood glucose levels to rise, why would someone on a LCKD become insulin supressed?
They eat protein w fat
@@robertcywes2966 Thanks for the quick response! Q: Why would eating fat with protein matter? Protein stimulates both insulin and glucagon release regardless of fat intake. If your eating 200-400 grams of protein a day, why would you become insulin supressed?
I would say that its like cigarrets. U try one here one there and then u starting to like it. Same with carbs and sugars. A little bit here a little bit there and you start the addiction
Hi doctor
Wanted to know what’s a negative gad65 results?
For insulin autoimmune disease
@@robertcywes2966 thanks for the reply I’m wondering what is the range value on blood work to say you are negative or positive?
Oh, now I see that there is a transcript, too. “Mahvelous!”
Where did you found the transcript?
@@mimiverschueren4683
Check the description box of the video.
@@mimiverschueren4683 I tapped the title and the description came up( a long one) and then scrolled down to the transcription.
If there was a link to the transcript, it's been removed. :-(
None of the research links take you to any of the research. Most return "404 page not found". The rest are garbage. Do you have any actual links to the research?
Sorry. That's an error on our part. This talk was linked to a different set of shownotes
@@robertcywes2966 Are the notes going to be corrected to include the proper links? After refreshing. the links have not changed but I don't know how quickly stuff like this gets updated.
Extremely informative! Should I be asking my doctor for all of these tests?
Only the necessary ones
@@robertcywes2966 Doctor Cywes, thank you for your reply. I have been doing the ketogenic diet for about 18 months. Can you make a future video about what might be necessary for me to have in my blood work?
BUN 60
Vitamin D 19
Uric Acid 12
Ana 1:1260 also now a an antibody being made against my liver
Normal tsh and t4 but .7 t3!
High ESR mold toxicity and Babesia
I went Carnivore to fix health issues but thats when my uric acid skyrocketed
I so inflammed and holding so much water!
I am a train wreck
No doctors can help
Are you accepting patients?
Yes
Rocking horse manure; pimple on an elephant's ass. 🤣
You should really include timestamps
EAT MEAT AND REPEAT!!!
Fasting glucose 84
Hba1c 4.6
Fasting insulin 15
Reason for high fasting insulin? Does this indicate insulin resistance?
Need c peptide as well
@@robertcywes2966 c peptide is 2.50. Any interpretation?
Very interesting! My latest blood work shows HbA1c 4.9 and fasting insulin 8.5. 6 months ago my insulin was 5. And if anything my carb consumption reduced. I am doing 2MAD mostly carnivore.
I remember hearing few years ago that fasting insulin is not very reliable. And this is the only "interpretation" that I could conceive...
I hope by now that Dr. Cywes is more knowledgeable about Vitamin D but it doesn't seem to be the case... The body ... given adequate sunshine- seems to cut off when the body is at or near 100ng ..... and long term Sleep studies show 60-80ng is needed to produce good deep sleep along with a good microbiome to produce all the B's in the gut.
